ROHNERT PARK — Playing the Technology Titans at full strength is difficult enough, playing them a girl down is downright impossible, and yet that was the task facing the Upper Lake Cougars on Friday in a North Central League III soccer game in Rohnert Park.

Technology won 5-0 to improve to 10-0 in league play and 15-0-1 on the season. Upper Lake (5-7, 7-11) made the Titans work hard for their latest victory despite suiting up only 10 players, which is all that head coach Daniella Santana could call on after one Cougar was unable to go because of injury and another was ineligible because of grades.

“It was a great team effort,” Santana said. “They just kind of ran out of gas there at the end.”

Upper Lake trailed just 2-0 at the half and its defense didn’t yield another goal until late in the second half when Technology scored three times during a three-minute span.

Santana said the Cougars went with one less attacker with only 10 players available. Even so, they were able to mount a handful of threats.

“We were able to keep possession up top a couple of times,” Santana said. “We did better than I thought we would.”

Pretty much every Upper Lake player went above and beyond, according to the Cougars’ coach.

“Cheyanne (Obedoza) did great,” Santana said of the Cougars’ keeper. “So did (forward) Katlyn (Minnis).”
